80. Recycling A cost-benefit function C computes the cost in millions of dollars of implementing a city recycling project when x percent of the citizens participate, where 1.2x C(x) 100 – x (a) Graph C in the window [0, 100] by [0, 10]. Inter- pret the graph as x approaches 100. (b) If 75% participation is expected, determine the cost for the city. (c) The city plans to spend $5 million on this recycling project. Estimate graphically the percentage of partici- pation that they are expecting. (d) Solve part (c) analytically.
